Doesn't every country need a license for gliders?  I went solo in a glider
using my PPL (a PPL in Canada also counts as a student glider permit) but
I will eventually need to get a separate glider license.

Those prices for gliders are about double what I pay in Canada but still
reasonable (given how much I've heard that airplanes cost to rent).  I pay
20 bucks for a tow and 50 cents per minute on the glider.

Hmm, Hawaii and Guam, I had forgotten about those.  Maybe getting a US
pilot license and then flying out to Guam every once in a while to fly
would work...
